Products, Prices and Trade 
NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 11, 1919. 
These prices and notes are believed to 
be fairly representative of the current of 
trade here. The range given in the quo- 
tations covers the qualities on hand at 
the time. The best grades of most fruits 
and vegetables, live stock and poultry on 
sale one week may be much better or 
poorer than next week’s offerings, so that 
a lower top price on such products does 
not necessarily mean a lower general mar¬ 
ket. This does not apply to butter, cheese 
and eggs, which ai'e more thoroughly 
standardized.
